Dip head of a finish nail in your pupil color, the excess will "hang" down with nail held vertical, point up. One light touch will leave a round drop of paint. Paint job looks very good Sir. (can also be used for the Yellow in your design with larger headed nail). Best of luck

Thanks for the tips!

Excellent. Love the "handmade" quality of the very minor inperfecrions. Just beautiful. I do the same. Some of my lures are 50+ years old.

nice job! what paints do you use?

[@FirstManFishing]

Thanks, it’s just the water based 6 color set from u.s. art supply. It came with the airbrush kit. I’ll definitely be adding some more paints as I go.
